360° VR EQUIPMENT

Z Cam follow up their surprisingly small E1 camera with a new VR specific system designed for shooting in 360°. Instead of individual camera modules, all four cameras are fully integrated onto one PCB in order to get the sensors closer to each other, allowing shorter safety distance between the camera and object. The lenses are much higher grade than we have seen before in VR cameras and all four sensors are precisely synchronised.

The system features 4x HDMI 1080p output and can record 60fps 2.7k or 30fps 4k on board. Through stitching output, it can achieve 4K 60fps and 6k 30fps.

They also bring the first publicly available optical flow-based stitching, making the system smoother across stitches with a more advanced algorithm.
